Hidden Orchestra is an imaginary orchestra created in the studio of composer/producer Joe Acheson. Consisting of multi-layered recordings of gifted instrumental musicians, from a wide variety of musical backgrounds, the Hidden Orchestra sound is full of contrasts (light/dark, fast/slow, doubletime/halftime, etc), and is a reflection of all the different musical influences experienced by Acheson throughout his life – from a background in choral and orchestral training, and classical composition, through to playing in many kinds of bands, deejaying, and music production. There is also a strong element of using natural sounds and field recordings to create rhythms and textures.
The music is performed live by a core band of Joe (electronics/bass), Poppy Ackroyd (piano/violin), drummers Tim Lane and Jamie Graham, with a variety of guest musicians, and a live AV show created by Tom Lumen, using a mixture of bespoke footage, projection-mapping, and on-stage cameras.
This award is supporting a trip to play at the NH7 festivals in India, with the four-piece band and a live AV show. It will be Hidden Orchestra’s first time in India, and they are looking forward to meeting local people, musicians, and industry contacts, to try and make the most of this amazing opportunity to visit a vibrant and rapidly expanding market and music scene.
